Another new brewery joins us….today it’s 40 Arpent Brewing, aiming ot open their doors by St. Patrick’s Day 2013 with a premier beer called Creole Red Ale. Details from nola.com:
In 2013, we can add another local beer bottle to the shelf. Michael Naquin plans to open 40 Arpent brewery in Arabi by St. Patrick's Day. The first beer will be a Creole Red Ale on draft made with red beans and rice. If all goes well, he'll also have bottles by the end of the year.
"I have just started the permit process, which is ridiculous and cumbersome," Naquin said. "I'm pretty sure (the federal government) already knows more about me than I know about myself."
Originally, Naquin planned to open a tiny, "nano" brewery. With the purchase of a 10 barrel brewing system from East End Brewing Company of Pittsburg, however, 40 Arpent jumped to the "micro" level. The brewery will have the capacity to produce 500 barrels by the end of the year. That will be enough, Naquin said, to supply 25 bar accounts around the area.
